I run office of AI agents. Vibe coded apps and still don't see how AI will replace me.

#ASO is a strange world. I got ranked very popular keyword, and it only gave ~3 extra downloads per day #iOSDev

I started working on Apple Ads, and here's some interesting stuff I found. #iOSDev #AppleAds Organic install boosted because of Apple Search ads. Organic installs increased in a non-target country.

From all these agentic tools, I hate most that as an indie dev now I'm more of a marketing guy than a programmer

Sad truth If you are not running an A/B screenshot test. If you are not running a paywall or an onboarding A/B test. You should not work on new features. #iOSDev

Lithuania is using filibuster to stop takeover of national broadcaster, but somehow a cat named Nuodėgulis has got control. 🤣

This year, I will be skipping Indie App Sales, but I still recommend that all #iOSDev join and take advantage of the amazing promotion opportunity.

I can go with Firebase backend for an easy life, but no, I will go with Swift Vapor 😂 #iOSDev

I use the Things app to track my personal tasks. However, I often feel the need for a better app to simplify my personal life. I need: Things + house cleaning tracker + maintenance tracker + basic habit tracker. For some time, I have had an idea to try to build this app myself.

My iPhone soft locked because storage was full. Restarted device and got back about 40% of storage. I will blame this on dev life and Apple.

It's iOS 26 Beta 5, and my search bar button still looks like this.

It's Beta 4 and I still don't have a working search field... I see only an empty button in the top toolbar.

I think the iOS beta version will be n times stable if Apple developers used the same API. Explain why my tabViewBottomAccessoryPlacement is not working, but Apple Podcast has a working version.

Working on updating my app for iOS 26. So every five minutes, I ask myself, is it an iOS bug or a skill issue? #iOSDev

Accessibility nutrition label gave me motivation to fix my app accessibility support. I thought my app had better dynamic type support...

I think AlarmKit is a game-changer. My wife uses the clock app as a to-do app. Thinking about creating an alarm-based to-do app 😂

I like Liquid Glass not because of transparency, but because of the new layout language 😍

I think it's time to rethink my transcription app. SpeechAnalyzer should be able to replace the current Whisper real-time transcription logic. SwiftUI rich text editor will also make usage of RichTextKit redundant.

Fun fact. OpenAI API has violence limits. If your user is particularly cruel, you will receive a warning email from OpenAI and may even face suspension. #OpenAI #iOSDev

I was searching for a new mouse because my Master Mx scroll wheel was not spinning correctly. As a last resort, I disassembled and cleaned it. Now, the mouse feels brand new.

Then I feel burned out. I do the following: - Rest until I feel guilty, and then a little more. - Create a possible task list for my life. - Start with the smallest and easiest tasks. - Remind myself that I only need to take one small step to move forward. - Rest.

Apple Search Ads Basic was trash on the product launch day. Now I see the best ROI from this source. The only problem is that it's not scaling up, and I don't get a lot of traffic. #iosDev

Here are my thoughts on the changes to the App Store Guidelines. The platform algorithm's primary goal is to earn as much as possible. So, cutting Apple out should result in smaller visibility in the App Store. As an indie dev living from organic downloads, I will wait and see. #iOSDev

If I give away data to OpenAI, they will give me free 10m tokens per day. My RPG game has become a lot cheaper 😂

I regularly check the progress of this neovim plugin journey to replace Xcode. I'm amazed at how far it's jumped forward. All day worked and turned Xcode only for Asset management. This time, I will stay longer with Neovim. #iOSDev
